'Symbiote thoughts'

The Next Day…

Eddie Brock, aka Venom was atop the roof of an old warehouse, his clothing consisted of dark grey jeans, a red sweater beneath a blue jacket, his gaze scanning the distance as he searched for the new Symbiote, having seen the footage on the previous night's news he was more than eager to form an alliance with it.

'A Symbiote with immunity to fire…if we can get her on our side the Spider will be an easy target' Brock thought to himself as he grew a dark smirk.

'And if we can learn to adapt this ability we shall be superior even to that of Carnage and since she didn't seem to fight with the Spider we know she isn't his ally but merely someone with a grudge against the good doctor' Venom added 'I will finally get payback for you abandoning me Parker…we were great together we were perfection and or turned your back on me…forced me out of your body and left me to die and I would have perished if not for Brock…but even he is using me and I don't want to be used I want a partner' Venom mused to itself, glad Brock was unable to hear the thoughts (1).

They saw their target, Dragonsbane. Swinging through the near deserted area of town, it maybe deserted but it was also the prime location to find gangs and the occasional villain, the Venom Symbiote began to ooze out and cloak Brock's body until he was covered in the substance and took on the monstrous form of Venom.

…

Dragonsbane wasn't patrolling per say but rather looking for some release of her pent up stress and to kill some time, she was no hero and she didn't claim to be, she'll help out if she's around sure, go out of her way for a little vengeance certainly.

'Bloom I've been meaning to ask you something since last night' Felicia thought to her Symbiotic companion.

'Oh? What about' Bloom asked, Felicia could practically hear Bloom raising an eyebrow in curiosity.

'Last night when I went to sleep I ended up in your mind, in your dream is that always going to happen?' Felicia questioned.

'No, from what I understand of the whole thing you only entered my mind out of your subconscious curiosity and since I lowered my mental defences to let you in to show you…how this happened and forgot to raise them again you ended up in my dream' Bloom answered, though she wasn't certain she was sure it was close to whatever reason it was.

'Okay…and how come your…err…dream self? I guess…how come she was so…innocent?' Felicia asked, feeling her cheeks tinge red at the memory of the Catgirl, Flora had told her what she thought but she wanted to hear it from Bloom herself before she made her conclusions.

'Innocent? Oh…that…well you see when I sleep my subconscious takes over, while I…hide…from certain memories, my subconscious knows of my fear and reverts to a state in which I would ignorant of the fear…in other words I become someone who knows nothing of intimacy with close to the mind of a child with the body of a teenager' Bloom explained 'I just wish I didn't retain the memories of the dreams…they're so embarrassing' she inwardly moaned, thankful Felicia couldn't hear her thoughts.

'And you remember everything?' Felicia asked, growing a small smirk when she heard Bloom's answer.

'Unfortunately yes, Symbiotes don't forget dreams like humans do, we retain everything all knowledge we acquire remains like the abilities of our hosts' Bloom explained, oh was Felicia going to have fun with this later, payback time for yesterday's prank.

The duo rounded a corner and entered the more deserted part of time, swinging on auto pilot, Bloom making sure she didn't swing into a building or something while they conversed with one another and while Felicia occasionally lost herself in this feeling of complete and total freedom. However, as they continued to swing Bloom began to feel restless and Felicia could feel her. Something was wrong.

'What is it Bloom?' Felicia asked, her mental tone one of concern.

'Another Symbiote host is nearby…really close actually' Bloom explained, the agitation in her tone growing with each word, Felicia's gaze narrowed.

'Where?' she asked.

'Can't you feel him…focus on our instincts remember we are one, I can feel him so, so can you' Bloom explained, Felicia began to focus on her and Bloom's instincts and discovered her companion was right, the other Symbiote was close, she continued to focus before turning to face where she could sense him, her heart skipped a beat at the sight of Venom.

'Venom?!' Felicia mentally gasped.

'So you know him?' Bloom asked.

'Yeah, he was the first Symbiote to come to Earth…look into my memories and you'll see why I'm not too thrilled to see him' Felicia stated, eyes widening as Venom beckoned her over with his hand, she began to swing in his direction, keeping her guard at its peak.

Truthfully Bloom didn't really need to look into her hosts memories to know that the Symbiote was dangerous and not someone you wanted to either be on the wrong side of or to even meet but she wasn't going to pass on an opportunity to look into Felicia's mind, besides by looking into it she could learn some vital information concerning the other Symbiote that she could use and so she dipped into her hosts memories and began to assimilate all the information connected and related to Venom.

Dragonsbane landed across from Venom, several paces away, she crossed her arms over her chest, her eyes narrowing as she prepared for any sudden movements from the other Symbiote.

"Why did you call us over?" Dragonsbane questioned.

"Because we need to speak with you" Venom answered, Dragonsbane raised an eyebrow at hearing this.

…

Aboard the Tricarrier the one eyed agent known as Nicholas Fury was looking over the monitors, knowing from experience that just because one possible new threat arose didn't mean all the old ones took the day off and so he remained ever vigilant as the other agents continued to search for the new Symbiote that acted under the alias Dragonsbane.

A single agent approached him, a tablet in hand, he cleared his throat and Fury turned to face to agent, his hard gaze penetrating him showing he was in no mood to play games and that this had better be the information he wanted.

"What is it Agent Smith?" Fury questioned

"There have been sightings of the new Symbiote in upper town, down town and some at the city boundaries and from these sightings and the time difference they are apart we have been able to triangulate that she should be in this area by now" he stated, holding up the tablet to display a map with several red dots indicating where their target had been spotted, each connected with a red line and each saying the time she had been spotter in that area and finally a large circle encircling the estimated area she would be in.

"Mobilise a team and get there an hour ago" Fury barked, the agent nodded and ran off to follow the orders. Another man approached Fury in a white lab coat, with brown hair and only one arm, he cleared his throat and Fury turned to face him.

"Is something amiss Doctor Connors?" Fury questioned.

"No sir, I just thought it would be more appropriate to capture the Symbiote rather than destroy it" Curt stated.

"Oh? How so?" Fury questioned.

"Well just think about it for a second, we just discovered a new Symbiote with immunity to fire and possible but not confirmed immunity to sonic waves, if we are able to capture and study it we may be able to discover if it has any new weaknesses with its new invulnerability and if this immunity was developed over generations or if it simply took the ability from its new host and finally we may uncover a way to permanently end the Symbiote race as a threat for good, maybe even adapt them to us and use them in the fight against villains like Doctor Doom, Galacticus, Juggernaut and Sinister" Curt explained, Fury looked to be in deep thought for a moment.

"You make a good case Connors, fine I will order the agents to attempt to capture the Symbiote but if it isn't possible then its destruction takes priority over everything else and this better not be another plan to grow your arm back" Fury stated, recalling the last attempt led to the metamorphosis of him becoming 'The Lizard' and he didn't want to consider what would happen if the Symbiote caused even remotely similar results.

"Don't worry it isn't, I learned from my mistake" Curt stated before heading back to the lab.

"Agents change in plan this is now a capture mission, retrieve the Symbiote so it can be studied but if that proves to not be possible return to the original objective of removing the threat" Fury stated into a microphone.

…

"We wish to form an alliance with you" Venom stated.

"An alliance? Why would you want to be allied with us?" Dragonsbane questioned, raising an eyebrow behind her mask, which was without the fangs and gaping maw as Felicia would rather not fight Venom if it could be avoided.

"Your immunity to fire would be of great aid in our cause to eliminate the spider that has caused both of us no end in trouble" Venom stated.

"You want our help to kill Spider-man?" Dragonsbane asked though it was more of a statement than a question.

"That is correct, from what we saw of you Dragonsbane isn't it?" Venom asked, Dragonsbane nodded in response "Intimidating indeed…for humans…from what we saw of you we can see you are not allies with the wall crawler and that you only appeared to fight with him because of some personal vendetta against Octavius and since he denied you your true and complete vengeance…well you could consider it a little extra incentive to aid us in destroying the spider" he finished.

"You're right when you say he and I are not allies, he's already tried to convince me to desert my other which is something I will not do…but, I have no interest in killing him so I respectfully decline your offer Venom" Dragonsbane stated, she turned to leave, hoping he would drop it but she doubted it highly.

"Very well, but if you won't aid us in crushing that irritating insect of a hero then tell us how you gained such an immunity to fire" Venom stated.

"You expect me to tell you how I gained immunity to one of the few things that can kill the Symbiote species, no way, I do not trust you would use the secret wisely" Dragonsbane retorted, taking a step to take her leave.

…

The agents had arrived at the near deserted part of town and through the use of their advanced tech tracked the Symbiote to the roof of a nearby warehouse, they dropped their hovercraft down onto the ground and began to head towards the roof of the building, they couldn't risk Dragonsbane learning of their arrival before they were ready.

As they drew closer, climbing the staircases in minutes the blip signalling the location of the Symbiote on the leaders monitor split into two, he pulled up the radio.

"Sir we are nearing the target but our scanners are picking up a second Symbiotic life form how should we approach this new development?" he asked into the device.

"Approach with caution and learn of which Symbiote is with the target, take the necessary actions to subdue them both and bring both Symbiotes to the Tricarrier we may be able to use them both to speed things along" the voice of Fury answered.

"Yes sir" the leader acknowledged as they neared the end of the final flight of stairs that led to the roof, stopping at the door that led to it, taking a miniature camera, attached to the scanner by small cord he slipped the camera through the key hole and soon received a visual of the two Symbiotes, the screen showed Dragonsbane and Venom circling one another, preparing to fight.

'Venom and Dragonsbane about to fight, with luck they'll weaken each other enough to capture with minimal casualties' the leader mused.

"Be ready men, on my signal we charge and hit them with everything we've got" the leader stated, his response was the safety on all weapons been shut off as they powered up.

…

"You will reveal to us the secret even if we have to beat you into a bloody paste to learn it" Venom snarled, Dragonsbane adopted a loose stance.

"We would have preferred to not fight you but we will if you force us too and you will lose" Dragonsbane hissed, the monster visage appearing upon her mask, her maw opening to reveal her fangs and long tongue.

"Do not underestimate us" Venom snarled, charging at Dragonsbane, fist raised high, at the last second Dragonsbane jumped over her foe and the offending fist, said fist came down and smashed through roof where she had been once stood, with ease. Venom turned back to face Dragonsbane, snarling as he readied himself to attack again, he charged at her.

'Yo Bloom got anything we can use against him other than the usual stuff?' Felicia asked her companion.

'Oh I've got stuff you would not believe' Bloom replied smugly, the next Dragonsbane new four long slender spider legs emerged from her beck, slamming into the ground before rising her several feet above Venom, he ran beneath her and soon stopped, turning back to face her, Dragonsbane moved to face her foe also.

Venom charged and Dragonsbane felt her maw open on its own accord or rather under Bloom's influence and next thing she knew a stream of flames was erupting from her maw and heading in the direction of Venom. The Symbiote clad villain gasped and leapt out of the way, glancing back to see the breath of flames strike where he was stood, when it stopped in its place was a large hole where the flames had burned through the roof, his eyes widened.

'Wow…Bloom really wasn't kidding about having loads of surprises in store' Felicia mentally gasped as she was in a state of awe, the sound of Bloom's chuckling filled her mind.

'I've still got more Felicia, a lot more…but I think I'll keep that back for another day, you've had enough surprises for one day' Bloom stated, Felicia could practically hear her smirk.

'Why didn't you tell me we could breathe fire yesterday…we could have fried Doctor Octopus and ended him once and for all?' Felicia asked.

'Because I only just worked out that we could, it seems my new form has taken the Dragon Fire and made it far more literal than it was before…Felicia we're part dragon, it's DNA is within me and I can replicate all its abilities' Bloom explained, excitement infiltrating her tone.

Venom rose back to his feet and turned back to glare at his foe, baring his fangs. His patience was running thin here and the worst of it was he was beginning to see how hard it would be to defeat Dragonsbane. Dragonsbane remained suspended in her air on her four spider legs, watching Venom carefully to see what he did next.

"What are you…you're unlike any Symbiote we have ever encountered before?" Venom snarled.

"We are your worst nightmare, we are Dragonsbane" Dragonsbane snarled before charging at Venom with incredible speed, Felicia put this down to her new legs as it seemed they granted her far more speed than her human ones did, her hand morphed into an axe and shot out at Venom, her arm stretching.

Venom leapt over the axe, it buried into the roof, the motion of the jump sent Venom flying right towards Dragonsbane, he pulled back his fast so as to deliver a powerful right hook to her cheek, her hand shot up and encased the fist, the next one came and she caught that one two.

Dragonsbane grew a vicious smirk as she watched Venom's eyes widen with a hint of fear in them, no doubt realizing that at this proximity he wouldn't be able to dodge her fire breath attack and due to the Symbiote's lethal weakness to fire, it would mostly likely kill him.

'Ready for another surprise?' Bloom asked her voice echoing within Felicia's mind once again.

'Another? I thought I wasn't getting anymore' Felicia replied coyly.

'What can I say, I like to spoil my host' Bloom countered.

Dragonsbane smirk grew and she bared her fangs, foot long spikes oozed out of her, her entire body was soon covered in spikes that continued to grow to two foot before Bloom decided to stop their growth, those covering her body were a couple inches buried into her foe while those in her palms had cleanly ran his fists through.

Venom wailed and wailed as pain thundered through their body.

"Now to finish the job" Dragonsbane muttered before letting loose her fire breath, it consumed Venom's body, they both screamed in pain. She stopped and dropped the new nude and badly burned Brock, the black ooze that was his Symbiote slowly slithering away showing how weak it was.

'You spared them?' Felicia stated in surprise, when Bloom forced her to release her fire breath again she really thought she was going to kill Venom.

'What you didn't think I had no mercy did ya I only wanted to separate them, tell them it's a warning and the next time, we won't hold back' Bloom replied, she never liked the thought of killing but…after Valtor she would do it if it came to it.

'Okay' Felicia muttered a tad confused but decided to ignore it.

"Consider that a warning, the next time you fight us though, we shan't hold back and we will kill you" Dragonsbane sneered.

"NOW" a male voice bellowed, Dragonsbane turned to locate its source, the door leading to the rooftop slammed open and around two dozen S.H.I.E.L.D charged out, each one armed with some form of weapon, the leader turned to glance at his small army.

"You, retrieve the Venom Symbiote the rest of you take her out" the leader called, pointing to one of his agents before pointing towards the Venom Symbiote that slithered further and further from its former host, the said agent headed to it, taking a nozzle attached a pipe, attached to a containment device on his back he sucked up the escaping Symbiote and imprisoned it while the rest of his team charged towards Dragonsbane, soon surrounding her and pointing weapons on her.

"What do you want?" Dragonsbane snarled.

"Dragonsbane you're coming with us, come willingly and your host won't be harmed resist us and we can't guarantee she won't be harmed in the crossfire" the leader stated.

"And why should we go with you? We have done nothing wrong" Dragonsbane retorted, her eyes going over the new arrivals wearily, preparing to sprout wings and fly the second she saw someone attempt to scratch their trigger finger.

"You're a danger to the public, last chance come quietly or be forced, your choice" the leader stated.

"We will never separate, we have done nothing wrong the only thing that would indicate us been a danger to the public is your paranoia of the Symbiote race" Dragonsbane snarled.

"You've made your choice, fire!" the leader commanded, sonic waves were fired from half of the agents that surrounded her, striking her body.

Bloom began to scream in pain, Felicia grit her teeth as pain thundered through her body as she felt Bloom been ripped from her body. On the outside Dragonsbane's skin began to act erratic to say the least, peeling off of her before forcing herself back on only to be peeled off again, on several occasions they exposed feminine flesh as the Symbiote fought to remain with her chosen host.

"STOP! PLEASE…STOP" Dragonsbane begged, fear and pain thundering through her voice, tears streaming out of her eyes and don't the Symbiotic flesh that clung to Felicia's body for dear life.

"We'll…do anything…you want…answer any…questions…just…please…STOP!" Dragonsbane roared, the leader brought up his radio.

"The new Symbiote may be immune to fire but it is now confirmed she is vulnerable to sonic waves though the target seems to had incredible stamina in remaining attached to the host…I think it is prepared to die to remain with its host" he stated.

"And as such when the Symbiote dies while still attached to her host some serious damage could be dealt to the host, what about the second target?" Fury questioned.

"The second target was revealed to be the Venom Symbiote and is now contained its host is unconscious and will be transported back to prison after questioning on what he knows of the target Symbiote" the leader answered.

"Good, make sure all information gathered is brought to me immediately" Fury stated.

"I will deliver it personally sir" the leader answered, ignoring Dragonsbane screams and shrieks of pain, Felicia's legs were now bare as was her entire right arm and half her left, indicating the Symbiote, aka Bloom couldn't hold on for much longer. A agent not firing on Dragonsbane prepared the vacuum device as to contain the Symbiote or what was left of it once they were done removing it.

Dragonsbane's shrieks continued only to cease when the pristine white of her eyes turned a demonic red, her pupils faded, the spider legs retracted and they fell to the ground, the agents moved in closer, upping the intensity of their weapons only to gawk at the Symbiote re-covered the exposed flesh and seemed to harden and take on a scaly pattern, the feline tail became more reptilian and dragonic wings erupted from her back.

"WE SAID STOP!" Dragonsbane roared, her voice physically fading into a dragonic roar as fire engulfed her body before combusting, sending agents flying in all directions and knocking them unconscious.

Dragonsbane hunched over, breathing heavily her form returning to its natural appearance, she felt exhausted, they glanced round at the fallen agents and began to limp towards the edge of the roof, her mask retracting to show her face.

"What…was…that?" Felicia asked, panting heavily, enjoying the sensation of breathing air normally and not filtered through her mask or through Dragonsbane's maw.

'I…don't…know…I…blacked…out...the last thing I remember is...trying to...stay with...you' Bloom answered.

"We've gotta…get out…of here" Felicia stated, only receiving a hum in response, her face was soon recovered by her 'mask' and once again dragonic wings erupted from her back and she took flight though much slower than the other times she used the wings and spent most of the time focusing on keeping her wings longs enough to get home before she collapsed.

A/N Sorry I made you wait I hope this chapter makes up for it, any suggestions will be greatly appreciated especially since my comic book knowledge is incredibly weak never actually reading one so I'm going off what I can find on the internet so apologies in advanced is some things I include don't follow the time lines or aren't accurate, plz review, the more reviews I get the quicker I will update.

(1) The hosts are unable to read these thoughts as the Symbiotes can block them...so basically hosts can't hear Symbiote thoughts.
